1.11 espie 164: <li>Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
165: the package build process
1.8 espie 166: <ul>
1.16 deraadt 167: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
1.8 espie 168: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
169: the new and improved method.
1.16 deraadt 170: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
1.8 espie 171: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects
172: user scripts such as out-of-date
1.16 deraadt 173: <li>More checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness
174: <li>The long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done.
1.8 espie 175: <li>The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies,
176: thus helping package builds be more reproducible.
177: This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already.

1.8 espie 179: have been fixed.
1.16 deraadt 180: <li>The arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on
1.8 espie 181: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
182: purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that
183: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
184: small data-size limits.
185: <li>dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds

303: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
304: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
305: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

309: <ul>
310: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
311: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
312: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
313: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
314:
315: <p>
316: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
317: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
318:
319: <p>
320: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
321: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
322: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
323:
324: <p>
325: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
326: read INSTALL.i386.
327:
328: <p>
329: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
330: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
331: use the
332: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
333: utility. The following is an example usage of
334: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
335: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
336: "rfd0a".

339: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
340: </pre></ul>
341:
342: <p>
343: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
344: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
345: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

353: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
354: your BIOS options first.
355: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
356: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
357: boot from the floppy drive.
